Just as the King attacking caused riots in the L.A community, the recent brutality reports have caused major issues in cities nationwide. Some of these reports include the 1999, Amadou Diallo case when he came home from work and was shot at 41 times by the police and died. There was also the Eric Garner quandary in 2014 who was choked to death by police.Also, there was the John Crawford accident in 2014 who was on the phone with his mother of his kids when he was shot and killed by police for being suspected as a dangerous shooter.

It’s hard to feel safe when the ones who are supposed to be protecting you are killing you. When people decide to live in America it may be for a better standard of living, but little do they know “every 7 hours cops kill an American citizen” (Cop Crisis). Police are trained to guard, prevent crime, and enforce laws; not to kill and destroy citizens. From past research the police brutality rate has increased within in the past three years and by the end of twenty­sixteen there will be 1,472 or more American citizens killed by cops (Cop Crisis). The police brutality rate should be minimizing each year in America, because we’re a hospitality country, killing doesn’t serve justice correctly, and causes tension between African Americans and Caucasian Americans. This is clearly an issue that needs to be resolved soon or our country will be enduring plenty more pain.

Ever since I was a little boy I heard from my parents and family members that police officers are the most scariest person on earth they usually jolts us by stories which was a way to discipline us, the concept of police officers at that time was reflected as your worst nightmare ever encounter which is a lowest standard that depicted ages ago. Nowadays it’s different as for the Samoan saying “Ua ao Samoa” Everything has come into light, people starting to know and expose to the law and its functionality, that’s why it is essential for the Samoa Police Service to step up and improve its standards.

Social media is outraged and want some of these cops to get fired. Officers think just because they are the law thy can do what they want. A family

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, we shouldn’t be silent about things that are really important or matter. Police brutality is real and we shouldn’t be quiet about it. Innocent lives are taken and people are injured. Police usually aren’t being convicted or punished for the action they took.

Most of these incidents go unreported or unnoticed. Recently the alarming amount of unarmed minorities that have been killed by the police has created an outrage across the U.S. and hatred and distrust towards police.
